Police have released CCTV images after a burglary at a power station during which oil was tipped into a river.

A power station in Dulverton was broken into and ransacked earlier this month, and 65 litres of oil was poured into a nearby river leading to a call-out for the Environment Agency.

Today (July 25), police have released CCTV photos of three men wearing wetsuits in connection with this incident.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said: "Do you recognise any of the people in these CCTV images?

"We think they might be able to help us with our enquiries after a break-in at the small hydro-electric power generating station on the River Barle at Dulverton on Sunday July 15 between 5.30pm and 6.15pm.

"The station was burgled, equipment was damaged, and about 65 litres of hydraulic oil was tipped into the river.

"As a result, the Environment Agency had to be called out for the clean-up and containment of the pollutant oils."

The spokesman added: "If you recognise anyone in the photos or have information you think could help us, please call 101 quoting reference 5218157696.

"Don't give info or report crime on Facebook."
